“…Marketable Pod Yield (t ha -1 ): Pods which are uniform in color, shape and size, free from damages, insect pest and disease attacks and physiological disorder like blemish were considered as marketable pods [14]. Such pods that are harvested in the net plot area during each successive harvest were weighed using sensitive balance after drying.…”

Low productivity of Hot pepper in Ethiopia was associated with different factors among which lack of well adapted varieties are most important ones in the area. Thus, adaptation trial of hot pepper varieties were conducted in Buno Bedele and Ilubabor zone with the objective of evaluating the performance and adaptability of introduced and improved varieties in different Hot pepper varieties. Four hot pepper varieties including local check were studied for their vegetative growth performance and pod yield under rain fed conditions in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Data on different important characters were collected and analyzed using SAS Software of 9.4 version. Thus, combined analysis of data revealed that, varieties showed highly significant at (P <0.01) for all collected parameters. The longest days to maturity (126.67 days) was recorded from Oda haro while the shortest days to maturity (117.67 days) was recorded from Local variety. Beside, the highest Pod number per plant (71.38) was recorded by Melka shote variety and the lowest Pod number per plant (39.87) was recorded from Oda haro. The longest (10.60) and the shortest (8.14) Pod length was recorded from Oda haro and Melka awaze varieties respectively. More wider (1.25cm) and more narrower (0.80cm) Pod diameter were recorded from Oda haro and Melka shote varieties respectively. More over the highest (3.80 t ha -1 ) and the lowest (2.32 t ha -1 ) Pod yield was recorded from Melka shote and Local varieties, respectively. Melka shote and Melka awaze varieties were resistant to disease (5r) than other varieties. However Oda haro and Local varieties were moderately susceptible (40ms) and moderately resistant (30mr) respectively. The result of the correlation analysis also revealed that Pod number and Branch number were significantly and positively correlated with Marketable and Total pod yield. Likewise Marketable pod yield was also significantly and positively correlated with Total pod yield. Thus, Melka shote and Melka awaze were varieties showed better performance with their mean yield and yield component. Therefore, these two varieties are recommended to be demonstrated on farmer's field for further scaling up.

“…The genus Capsicum is the second most importantvegetable crop of the family after tomato in the world (Berhanu et al, 2011). It's animportant crop, not only because of its economic importance but also due to the nutritional andmedicinal value of its fruit (Nimona et al, 2018). The fruit is an excellent source of natural colours and antioxidant compounds whose intake is an important health protecting factor in the prevention of widespread human diseases (Howard et al, 2000).…”

Background: Small pod hot pepper is grown as an annual crop and produced for its fruits. It is one of the most important vegetable crops for fresh consumption, for processing and as a spice (for making stew). The current study aimed to identify the response of different NPS and N fertilizer rates on growth, yield and yield components of small pod hot pepper production in West and Kellem Wollega zones and to determine the optimum and appropriate application rates of NPS and N fertilizer in the study area. Methods: A field experiment was conducted at HaroSabu Agricultural Research Center on station, Sedi Canqa and Lalo Qile sub sites of Kellem Wollega zone, Western Ethiopia, during the 2020 and 2021 main cropping seasons. Thirteen fertilizer combinations were used as experimental materials. Result: The combined analysis of variance for total yield and other agronomic traits revealed highly significant differences in, plant height, plant canopy length, number of pods per plant and total dry pod yield; whereas days to flowering, days to maturity, number of primary branches per plant, pod length, pod diameter and pod weight revealed non-significant effect. In this experimentation, the combination of 150 kg/ha NPSand 150 kg/ha N(urea) fertilizer rate was found superior in terms of economic yield (marketable yield), and yield component parameters. The marginal rate of return also directed the highest net benefit from the combined fertilizer rate of 150 kg/ha NPS and 150 kg/ha N(urea). Thus the combined fertilizer rate of 150 kg/ha NPS and 150 kg/ha N(urea) is recommended for the yield increment of small pod hot pepper in the studied areas of Western Oromia.
